I work alongside mid-market business leaders when things become more complex. Whether it’s performance drift, board pressure, or simply needing more headroom to lead, I provide quiet, practical support to help business leaders stay in control without disrupting what’s already working.
Executive Coaching Packages
Trusted support for Business Leaders when pressure builds, delivery drifts, or clarity is needed.
Operational Clarity. Calm Under Pressure. Trusted Strategic Support.
Engagement Options
No lock-in. Flexible support, designed around what matters most.
Executive Clarity
Get clarity on what matters most, without the commitment
Two focused 60-minute sessions designed to cut through the noise and get to the heart of your current challenge, plus a written action plan to keep you moving forward.
This isn’t a sales call disguised as advice. It’s a working partnership where we tackle the specific issue that’s keeping you up at night or creating friction in your business.
We cover what matters to you, such as:
- Board prep when the numbers don’t tell the story you need them to
- Delivery issues that are creating ripple effects across the business
- Reforecasting when market conditions have shifted your assumptions
- Priority resets when everything feels urgent but nothing feels clear
- Growth bottlenecks that are constraining your next phase
- Leadership challenges when scaling is stretching your team
- Cash flow management during rapid expansion
- Covenant discussions when growth is masking underlying issues
How it works: Session 1 (60 minutes) – We’ll work through your specific situation and identify the core issues that need addressing.
Session 2 (60 minutes) – We’ll map out practical next steps and create a clear path forward.
Written Action Plan – You’ll receive a concise, actionable summary with clear priorities and next steps.
The outcome: Clarity on what needs to happen next. No fluff, no theoretical frameworks, just practical direction from someone who’s navigated these challenges before.
If the sessions add value and you want ongoing support, the full fee is credited toward your first month. If not, you’ve got what you need and we’re both happy.
Strategic Reset
A 4-week intensive framework to restore control and rebuild momentum
When performance drifts, cash flow becomes unpredictable, or you’re losing grip on what’s actually happening in your business, this 4-week program gets you back in control.
This is for leaders who:
- Are managing covenant pressure while trying to maintain operational stability
- Face monthly board scrutiny when cash flow forecasting feels like guesswork
- Need to restore team performance without burning out the business
- Are handling lender oversight during performance recovery
- Must balance cash management with market position
- Are managing team stability during uncertain trading conditions
- Need to rebuild momentum after a difficult period
The 4-week process:
- Week 1: Trading & Cash Reality – Get to grips with actual performance and cash position
- Week 2: Recovery Planning – Create a practical path forward that works in your situation
- Week 3: Team Reset – Restore clarity and momentum without destroying what’s working
- Week 4: Implementation & Momentum – Lock in the changes and build sustainable momentum
I’ll work directly with your FD or CFO where needed to ensure we’re looking at the right numbers and understanding the real financial position.
What you get:
- 4 x 75-minute weekly sessions
- Written diagnostic report after Week 1
- Detailed recovery plan document after Week 2
- Team alignment framework after Week 3
- Direct liaison with your FD/CFO to understand MI and financial positioning (where relevant)
- 2 weeks of follow-up ad hoc support (calls/messages as needed)
What this delivers: This isn’t another framework from someone who’s never run a business under pressure. It’s a practical reset for leaders who need to restore control without destroying what’s working.
I’ve used this same approach with CEOs and MDs in turnaround situations, performance recovery phases, and when managing through market volatility. It works when you need to explain covenant performance to a board while market conditions keep shifting the variables.
The outcome: Operational clarity, a recovery plan that actually works, and team momentum that doesn’t rely on burning people out. Plus the confidence that comes from having a clear path forward.
Strategic Coaching
For leaders who need a trusted voice when the pressure builds
Monthly support for CEOs and MDs who need someone who understands what it’s really like at the top, whether that’s from growth challenges, board expectations, or market volatility.
This is for leaders who:
- Are managing sustained growth while keeping the business stable
- Face ongoing board or investor pressure around performance
- Need to maintain team stability while scaling operations
- Are navigating market volatility that’s affecting their growth trajectory
- Handle monthly board reporting when every number is scrutinized
- Are managing cash flow during expansion phases
- Need strategic clarity when growth creates new complexities
- Want support from someone who’s actually carried the full weight of leadership
What you get:
- Comprehensive leadership assessment (SHL OPQ) to identify development priorities and create baseline
- 3 x 60-minute weekly sessions (scheduled to suit your calendar)
- 1 x 2-hour monthly deep dive session for complex issues
- Full ad hoc access – calls, WhatsApp, email when issues arise
- Board pack support – help structuring your narrative and key messages
- Leadership priorities – clarity on what matters most when everything feels urgent
- Strategic perspective – keeping sight of the bigger picture when operational demands pull you in
- Quarterly SMT meeting attendance – I’ll join one senior team meeting per quarter to provide perspective and support team alignment
- Direct liaison with your FD/CFO where needed for financial clarity
How it works: This isn’t coaching theory or frameworks. It’s practical support from someone who understands the reality of leading under pressure. Whether you’re managing rapid growth, board dynamics, or operational complexity, you get consistent access to thinking time and strategic perspective.
I know what it feels like when everything rests on your shoulders — when the board, investors, and your team are all looking to you for answers. You’re not just building a business, you’re securing a future. For your family, your people, the things that matter most.
The outcome: Clear thinking when decisions feel overwhelming. Someone who gets what you’re carrying and helps you stay focused on what really matters.
We work month by month. No lock-in. If the value isn’t there, we stop.
Intensive Care
For leaders navigating major challenges or rapid change who need an experienced hand close by
Intensive support for CEOs and MDs managing significant pressure, whether that’s operational crises, major growth phases, stakeholder challenges, or when everything seems to be happening at once.
This is for leaders who:
- Are managing major operational disruption or crisis situations
- Face complex stakeholder management during critical periods
- Need someone who can step into the detail when pressure builds
- Are navigating rapid scaling that’s stretching every system
- Have team or performance issues that need immediate attention
- Face board or investor situations requiring careful management
- Need tactical support alongside strategic guidance
- Want someone who can help fight fires while keeping the bigger picture in view
What you get:
- 16 hours of structured support per month – delivered how you need it most
- This could be 1-to-1 sessions, team meetings, calls with your FD, crisis meetings, or whatever the situation demands
- Strategic ad hoc access – calls and messages for urgent decision support
- Direct involvement in critical situations as they arise
- Support with difficult conversations and stakeholder management
- Real-time problem solving when operational challenges hit
- Team intervention support when dynamics become critical
- Crisis communication guidance when reputation or relationships are at stake
I’m not a clock watcher – the 16 hours is a guide to ensure we both understand the commitment level, but when critical situations arise, we focus on getting the job done.
How it works: This isn’t traditional coaching – it’s having an experienced COO-level advisor embedded in your operation. You get someone who can move between strategic oversight and tactical problem-solving, depending on what the business needs most.
When the pressure builds and decisions can’t wait, you have immediate access to someone who’s navigated these challenges before. Whether it’s a team crisis, stakeholder issue, or operational problem that needs sorting, you’re not handling it alone.
I work directly with your situation as it unfolds – no rigid frameworks, just practical support from someone who understands what you’re carrying and can help shoulder the load.
The outcome: You stay focused on leading while having backup when the pressure peaks. Problems get resolved faster, stakeholders stay aligned, and you maintain your credibility during challenging periods.
We work month by month with clear boundaries. This intensive support is designed for periods of high pressure, not permanent dependency.
